2024 Hahndorf Hill GRU Gruner Veltliner

The Austrian Grüner Veltliner grape is one of the current 'it' varieties amongst wine lover circles, loved for its texture, natural freshness and versatility with food.

The Adelaide Hills region is where the variety is proving most successful, a fact that can be attributed wholly and solely to the inspired work of Hahndorf Hill guru Larry Jacobs. Jacobs prophetically first planted the variety in the region in 2006, since then many Hills producers have followed suit. But the Hahndorf Hill GRU remains the gold standard of Australian Gruner.

With a lengthy history of trophies, gold medals and outstanding reviews this is a clear benchmark for the variety in Australia - if you want to see what Gruner is all about, there is simply no better example in the country.

"Larry Jacobs and Mark Dobson are stepping away from Hahndorf Hill and into well-earned retirement, so it’s timely to acknowledge the role these two played in pioneering gruner veltliner in this country... It’s a delicious legacy to leave."
- Nick Ryan (The Australian)
